An outstanding engineering professional, David Bozeman is one of the newest members of Caterpillar’s executive leader- ship team. He joined the company in 2008 as a general manager for the Specialty Products business unit, and in less than a year was promoted vice president of the Core Components unit. In June of 2010, he took on the challenging role of leading a very important division with oversight for its $1.5 billion budget, and more than 11,500 employees in eight facilities in the United States, Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom. These facili- ties manufacture product lines with heavy ties to Caterpillar’s mining and quarry applications. A leader with an eye for quality and the ability to motivate others to deliver that quality, Boze- man was recently selected to be part of an elite team of 12 that helped formulate the company’s renewed enterprise strategy, which lays out its corporate vision through 2020. Bozeman is an executive sponsor of the Caterpillar Korean affinity group and has spent time with the Experienced Professional Direct Hire affinity group sharing his unique experiences and perspectives with other mid-career hire employees from across the company. Prior to joining Caterpillar, he had a distinguished 17-year career at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, where he was the manufacturing voice in the concept phase of product develop- ment. He started his career at Harley-Davidson in 1992. He is a member of a number of professional organizations, including the National Black M.B.A. Association, NSBE, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the Machinery and Allied Products Institute, and the Executive Leadership Council, an organization comprised of the most senior African American corporate execu- tives in Fortune 500 companies.

Kelvin Hawkins started his IBM career 16 years ago in the personal computing customization facility. Since then he has held a variety of technical, business and managerial positions. Along the way, he has served as a professional mentor and a career coach to more than 50 engineers, and has worked on the development of more than 20 desktop and server system platforms. He was part of the engineer- ing team that developed the industry’s first petascale system (called Road Runner) used for national security initiatives. He has received awards for innovation and product excel- lence for IBM’s x86 systems, one of the industry’s first sys- tems to support 64 bit x86 architecture, as well as awards for products he has delivered, including POWER Systems, System x, NetVista and Aptiva, where he launched the first sub-$1,000 personal computer. Currently, he leads 500 en- gineers and scientists in the development of IBM’s system z mainframe and power systems RISC/UNIX servers. In this capacity, he has partnered with PMC Sierra, Broadcom, Emulex and Qlogic Corp., who all provide technology for the power systems technology ecosystem. The results for IBM, across the entire organization, are immense—as evidenced by the multistage launch throughout 2010, of one of the most impressive portfolio of midrange systems and price performance IBM has produced in some time. Working with the Office of Minority Educational Develop- ment at Georgia Tech, he launched the FOCUS program for diversity doctoral scholarships as well as summer programs for incoming freshmen.
